Tire blowout on the BQE; expletives ensued. Temporary spare is woefully inadequate for driving with any modicum of confidence. Tire replacement cost at the dealer was SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Tire Rack. Displeasure at the expense and inconvenience was declared most effectively via the use of aforementioned expletives. Never again.

Bad luck. The right rear tire (the same one that blew out and was replaced; subsequently got a nail in it and was replaced) blew out on Sunrise Highway on the way to our home in Montauk. Roadside assistance took 3 hours to arrive and tow to nearest dealer, by which time all dealers were closed. After much complaining, car was retrieved and towed to the dealer of choice where the tire was replaced for the third time. Unfortunately, 19" tires were not in stock, so we were placed in a rental to continue our weekend. Even the staff at the dealer and the tire manufacturer had to remark on the number of times I've had tires replaced in 6 months of ownership. Not pleased.

Drivers side wiper drags water back across the windshield as it comes back down from the far left vertical. It makes seeing difficult in the rain & freezes in winter weather. The service advisor advised to replace the wiper inserts because other repairs would be more costly. That fix of course didn’t make sense, and didn’t fix the issue at all. Next time I’ll discuss with the service manager & waste more of my time Honda Link randomly stopped working It no longer shows the mileage, miles left on the gas tank, or maintenance info I was informed no one at the dealership knows how to work this system or how to fix it

During the pandemic, I let the vehicle sit too long without driving it. After that, I had trouble getting the battery to hold a charge so I replaced it. I choose to put in a fancy AGM battery vs. a traditional lead-acid battery as it was more powerful, lighter, and came with a much better warranty. I also paid almost double the price. An experiment.

After driving car for 60 days, it suddenly had no electricity throughout vehicle. Battery was checked as were fuses and all came back in good order. My mechanic eliminated the starter and alternator and doubted that it was the neutral safety switch. I went back to the dealer where I purchased the car (used lot) and they took TOTAL control of the situation. The salesman who sold me the car sent a tow truck and just took care of it as if it were his personal car. Toyota of Newnan's service is fantastic, but service after the sale is even better! The problem turned out to be the ground wire leading from the engine bay to the cabin had "gone bad" is what I was told and it was replaced at no charge. My car runs just as it should once again. Thanks Toyota of Newnan!
